Send files as TEXT only even if HTML

[Lainee Scott <la...@yahoo.com>]

Hello all!

Basically I have a VirtualHost that I would like to
always send data as TEXT only.  I want to allow users
to download the files from this VirtualHost...or
rather, view the contents of the file.  So, if the
file
contains PHP or HTML or just text (whatever) I would
like the browser to always display the contents of the
file uninterpretted.  However, I would
like not to have to change all file extensions on the
files.  I also afraid that browsers will interpret the
HTML in files regardless of the
file extension I add.

Here's the premise: I'd like users to be able to
upload files to my server (HTML, gzips, PHP, PERL,
whatever) for storage, backup.  Then I'd like
them to be able to download the file again when they
want to through a Web interface.

I hope this makes sense.  It makes a TON of sense to
me!  :)

Thanks.

That's the correct config. But note that, if any of your clients
are using MSIE, you're not going to like the results because of
this:

Try

<VirtualHost whatever>
    <Directory />
        ForceType text/plain
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
